Meal Plans

The Bagel Bar at Stuart. Screamin’ Eagle at Lower. Mozz sticks at Late Night. Choosing what to eat will be tough. Choosing the right meal plan can be a snap. All first-year students and those who live in residence halls without kitchens must purchase a Residential Meal Plan. While that plan meets many students' needs, BC Dining also offers a Maroon Upgrade and a Gold Upgrade that add more spending power and flexibility to individual meal plans.
